Last updated: January 4, 2017 - 12:06pm EST

Do you want to give Kik Messenger the boot? Perhaps you're interested in replacing it with one of the apps like Kik that we mentioned. In any case, to delete your Kik Messenger account, here's what you need to do.

Go to your email client, open the email from Kik, and click "Click Here".

As you may have noticed, there are actually two different things that you need to do in order to delete your Kik account. The first is to reset your Kik account, which deletes all records of conversations that you've had with other people on Kik Messenger. The second is to actually deactivate the account itself. We'll go through how to do both in detail below.

4. Reset your Kik account.

5. Confirm the reset of your Kik account.

Kik will inform you that resetting Kik will delete all records of any conversations that you've had on Kik, and will automatically log you out of Kik. If you're okay with this, tap Yes.

6. Go to the web page for deleting your Kik account.

Now that you've reset Kik, you will need to finish the rest of the account deletion process on a desktop computer. Open your web browser of choice, and go to this link.

7. Have Kik send you an email with an account deletion link.

In the window that appears, click in the box that says "Enter Your Email" and type in the email address that you used to sign up for your Kik Messenger account. Then click Go. This will cause Kik to send you an email with a link to permanently deactivate your Kik Messenger account.

8. Open the email from Kik, and click the account deletion link.

Log into your email client, find the email from Kik titled "Deactivate Your Kik Account", and click on it to open it.
